Tyler Black To Miss Start Of Season At Triple-A
Milwaukee Brewers first base prospect Tyler Black ( hand) will miss the start of the 2025 regular season at Triple-A Nashville after suffering a fracture in his right hamate bone. Black will be out six to eight weeks as a result. It's a tough break (literally) for the team's No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. The 24-year-old will likely undergo surgery, which has a good chance of sapping his power for a while when he initially returns to action in the minors. The Canadian former 33rd overall pick in 2021 out of Wright State University made his major-league debut for the Brew Crew last year and went 10-for-49 (.204) with no homers, two RBI, three steals and 17 strikeouts in his first 18 games played. However, the left-handed hitter clubbed 15 homers, stole 20 bags and produced an .805 OPS in 103 games for Nashville in 2024. Black has intriguing power-speed upside, but we probably won't see him back in the majors until later this year, if at all.
